Negative
Implications
1. The implication of the afore mentioned challenges to
nursing profession cannot be over emphasized.
2. Relegation of nursing to poor background
3. They relegate nursing profession to poor background.
Nursing suppose to be a leading profession in medicine as they did in the early
Egyptian civilization.
4. Most of our nurses have changed from practicing
nursing to read other courses of
psychology, mass communication, agric sciences
etc
5. The number of Nigerian nurse at other countries are
many, this is as a result of brain
drain. They all look for greener pasture. This affects profession development
of nurse life.
6. The profession, some people have decided not to allow
their children to be called nurses in public gathering, they would like to
addressed as DOC, Chief, Oga etc. this type of attitude affect the
professionalism?
7. Furthermore, the challenges also depict nurses as a
second class citizen. Example government do not like to engage nurses in policy
making and implementation. Some nurses also make themselves too cheap, they way
they dress, talk, reasons, marry etc.
8. Poor societal rating:
no matter your position as a nurse the still do not rate you or equate
you to be any stake holder. The society see nurses as doctors servants. They
still assume that they learnt under the tutelage of doctors.
9. The challenge makes us to be aggressive rather than
been assertive, in an effort to exhibit and defend our supposed image
10. Again most our nurses prefer to remain poor as their
inheritance. As they continue to serve doctors in their private clinic without improving
themselves.
11.
It also makes
we call or deally of the nursing profession. This is manifested when any ugly
situation happen in a hospital set up, the
nurse will be the first person to
accuse just because we have not attained
to standard of a profession
Positive
Implication
1. The challenges are indicator that shows that we have
not attained to a real profession. Without trial there will be no progress.
2. It also creates an avenue to motivate us to join the
trend of change eg politics etc.
this will help us to participate in
policy making and lobbying to achieve our goal.
3. Furthermore, as a result of the challenges, we can
come together to speak one vice as profession. Once there is unity can work in
togetherness.
4. The challenges also tries to make distinction to know
who are really nurses. You know who is who when there is a problem. Now nursing
is trying come out from the cocoon of humiliation. It is those who will end to
the end will be called professional nurses.
5. After the challenges it will make nursing profession
full autonomous. Autonomy is one of the criteria for professionalization.
